Q: How much space do I need to build a plunge pool?

• <div><p>You can build a plunge pool in an 8-by-8-foot space. Many plunge pools are about 8 to 12 feet wide, 2 to 24 feet long, and 4 to 8 feet deep. While these pools are smaller than your average swimming pool, you may want additional space for a deck or patio to surround the plunge pool. </p></div>

Q: How long does it take for pool concrete to set?

• <div><p>Pool concrete or gunite can take several weeks to cure, or an average of 30 days, before workers can resume construction. Additional work and finishes push the time to build a pool out of concrete to between three and six months. There are many <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pool-types-cost-decks-and-other-options.htm">types of pools</a> that take far less time, so keep these in mind if you're on a short timeline. </p></div>

Q: What is the least expensive way to cool a pool?

• <div><p>There are several affordable ways to chill your pool. A pool cover can help prevent the temperature of your pool from rising during the sun. You can also run your filter at night to help aerate the water. The next most wallet-friendly option is a DIY pool chiller or fountain that uses evaporation to cool your pool.</p><p></p></div>

Q: Can you replace a pool light underwater?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s fair to be concerned about handling pool lights or wiring in a pool filled with water. But fortunately, pool lights and swimming pools are designed to make it easy and safe to replace the lights without needing to drain the water. Instead, you can turn off the electricity to the pool as a safety precaution, unscrew the pool fixture, pull it up and out to the side of the pool, then change the bulb.</p></div>

Mark is great. We had a water softener a long time ago and it was cheaply installed. It was great to have a real plumber do the work this time. Very professional job. Weâ ve also hired A Good Plumber for plumbing since.
